Seymour DuncanDino C Machete 7-String Humbucker Pickup Zebra Bridge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Dino Cazares’ Machete is an active, bridge-position humbucker for seven-string guitars, fitted in a passive mount. Its voice combines a sharp attack with treble presence and low-mid weight to keep low-end parts defined. It is voiced for tight chugs, rapid repeated picking, and lead passages, while retaining the organic, dynamic response described for the model. The design builds on Seymour Duncan’s Retribution platform.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Seven-string bridge setups requiring defined low end during tight chugs and rapid repeated picking.
- Lead and rhythm parts that call for immediate attack, treble bite, and low-mid body.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars requiring a neck-position pickup; this model is specified for the bridge.
